About Us

Founded in 2021 by Grace Nabuuma, AVAL Agroecology Ltd is a Ugandan social enterprise working to reduce post-harvest losses for fruit and vegetable farmers through solar drying technology. Grace was raised by a single mother in a family of eight, relying on farming to survive. Despite hard work, most of their harvest spoiled before it could be sold. This led to deep hardship Grace dropped out of school, and her sister became pregnant at a young age, Inspired by her experience and supported by Jangu International, Grace created AVAL to help farmers preserve their produce, earn more, and live sustainably. We partner with farmers to dry, package, and distribute nutritious, ready to eat products, extending shelf life and fighting food waste, one fruit at a time.

Our Model / How It Works

A Simple, Powerful Process:

Source the Produce

We partner with farmers to collect fresh fruits and vegetables locally.

Sort for Quality

Only the best produce is selected to reduce unnecessary waste.

Cut and Clean

Fruits are washed, peeled, and sliced uniformly for even drying.

Dry with Sunlight

Solar technology dehydrates produce naturally, preserving nutrients and flavor.

Package with Care

Products are packed in airtight, eco-friendly packaging for freshness.

Distribute to Market

We sell through shops, supermarkets, and online for wider reach.

The Problem We Solve

Uganda loses up to 40% of fruits and vegetables during bumper harvest seasons. We fight hunger, poverty, and climate impact by rescuing produce before it goes to waste.

Reduce Food Waste

40% produce lost during peak harvest seasons. Uganda discards tons of fruits and vegetables yearly. AVAL preserves surplus using solar drying technology.

Increase Farmer Income

70% farmers earn below $2 each day. Short selling periods limit their market access. AVAL extends shelf life and boosts farmer profits.

Improve Community Nutrition

2 billion lack safe, nutritious daily food. People rely on unhealthy, artificial food sources. AVAL provides natural, nutritious, ready-to-eat products.
